With money and bodies, American leftists are backing the Second Mexican American War, the one we thought was settled in 1848. Courts have enjoined Donald Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Tren de Aragua bad guys. Venezuela opened its prisons and let those really awful excuses for humans out to wreak havoc in the United States. Trump identified a “predatory incursion” that one judge was sufficiently sapient to see. But the others are oh so offended that these “American fathers” are being sent back to their home countries. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is afraid that a rival gang...

Texas Is Funding Its Own Demise $13 Million in State and Federal Money Handed to Islamic Mosques and Community Groups - Some Recipients Praise Hamas, Pledge Allegiance to Iran, and Are Not in Your State to Assimilate, but to Dominate. Many of these mosques are openly aligned with terrorist groups and regimes - including the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Jamaat-e-Islami, and even the Iranian regime. While Texans struggle to preserve their culture, security, and values, the state government is quietly bankrolling the very forces determined to dismantle them. These are not fringe groups. They operate in the heart of Texas cities....

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was undoubtedly trying to “lure NATO” into their war with Russia. “There is no doubt, because he cannot win this war on his own. He knows he’s losing,” Tuberville said during a Sunday appearance on John Catsimatidis’s radio show “Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM.… However, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth previously mentioned that the country would never join NATO, although he later walked back the comments. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 and has continued to launch deadly drone strikes on the country in an effort to gain more land. The Kremlin...

[…]"It is vital that the response to this and other similar Russian attacks is not silence from the world, but concrete action," Zelenskyy said in his statement."Action from America, which has the power to force Russia into peace," he continued. "Action from Europe, which has no alternative but to be strong. Action from others around the world who called for diplomacy and an end to the war -- and whom Russia has ignored. There must be strong pressure for the sake of peace..."

For the first time in the US, more babies are now born to moms 40–44 than 15–19. This marks 2 historical shifts for the US, plummeting teen pregnancy and gradually rising fertility for older women.

Soros is one of the biggest backers of marijuana legalization in history and now his NGO have their sights on Ukraine The Ukrainian Drug Control Service recently issued the first license to import medical cannabis into Ukraine, after the law on the legalization of medical cannabis officially came into force in Ukraine last August. Several organizations have lobbied for at least partial legalization of marijuana in Ukraine in recent years – most of them supported by George Soros. This is no coincidence. The Ukrainian Drug Control Service recently issued the first license for the import of medical cannabis into Ukraine,...

Despite the advantages of a larger recruitment base and defense industrial capacity, the Russian military has not been able to decisively defeat the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) since Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.As of April 2025, U.S. officials estimate Russia has suffered over 790,000 killed and wounded. Other estimates place Russian casualties as high as 900,000. These rates arguably reflect Russia’s continued use of high-casualty tactics—including a reliance on massed personnel attacks and massed artillery fire—and limited operational-level flexibility.Russian law prohibits the combat deployment of conscripts, leading the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) to prioritize recruitment of contract soldiers....

Have you heard? South Korea pulled a “North Korea” and just crushed their enemy into dust. ... It all started when the liberals impeached the right-wing president. Then, they triggered a new election, which, of course, they won. And now, they’re feverishly working to expand their high court to lock in a permanent liberal majority. Steve Bannon saw it coming back in May; he knew our South Korean allies were headed for serious trouble. ... Would Republicans ever pull something like this? Oh, heavens no. We’re still stuck operating under the Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney battle plan: “That’s not...

The Daily Beast, another LEFT-WING propaganda outlet, pretends that this strike means Ukraine is winning. I think every one of these journalists should be drafted, handed a gun, and sent to Ukraine to defend what they boast about. Sorry, Putin is the smartest leader in the room. He has drawn so many red lines, and the EU has crossed each one, trying to compel him to attack NATO. Despite the NEOCON propaganda that Western media keeps spouting, this attack does not mean Ukraine is winning on the battlefield, which takes soldiers. Anyone with real sources knows that this is a...

The above is a video from when John McCain and his neocon successor, Lindsey Graham, shook the hands of Nazis in Ukraine) Former White House strategist Steve Bannon declared that t Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and the deep state are “dragging us into a kinetic third world war.” Graham and fellow necon Dem Senator Richard Blumenthal took it upon themselves to personally visit Zelensky in Ukraine where they urged him to ignore orders from Washington. “Lindsey Graham’s over there saying, ‘Hey, forget Trump. I got the House and Senate. We’re going to pass it. You’re going to see something in...

America’s fertility rate is hovering around historic lows, with approximately 1.6 births per woman over her lifetime. This is below the level needed to sustain the population, which is 2.1 births per woman.

For the first time since the U.S. created an international group to coordinate military aid to Ukraine three years ago, America’s Pentagon chief will not be in attendance when more than 50 other defense leaders meet Wednesday. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who returned from a national security conference in Singapore on Sunday, will not arrive in Brussels until Wednesday evening, after the Ukraine Defense Contact Group’s meeting is over. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss scheduling details, confirmed that Hegseth also will not participate by video conference. It is the latest in a series of steps...

As America seeks to dial back its military presence in Europe and war continues in Ukraine, European nations are dusting off their war machines and training for battle. By all indications, no matter what happens between Russia and Ukraine, tensions on the historically war-fraught Continent will almost certainly not return to pre-2022 levels.On Wednesday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced a new, chummier military partnership between his nation and Ukraine. He said Germany will continue to provide military support, and promised to dole out 5 billion euros in military aid. Merz also said the Germans will supply Ukraine with long-range weapons...

The US president no longer cares about the near-term political consequences of his actions, says the former senior official in an interview in Washington. Few people know the inside of U.S. Republican administrations as well as John Bolton, who has worked on foreign policy in every one of them since the days of Ronald Reagan. Under George W. Bush, he served as ambassador to the UN, and in Donald Trump’s first term, he served as National Security Adviser for 18 months—“a record for that administration,” he recalls with a laugh. The relationship didn’t end well: Bolton, like many other senior...

President George W. Bush famously underestimated Vladimir Putin. Asked about his impressions of the Russian president, the then-US president claimed that he had “looked into Putin’s eyes” and “saw his soul.” His secretary of state, Colin Powell, said that he, too, had looked into Putin’s eyes “and I saw the KGB.” Bush found out what was behind Putin’s eyes a little too late. Toward the end of Bush’s second term, in 2008, Putin’s Russia invaded the neighboring country of Georgia... Ever since Putin repeated his Georgian maneuver on a much grander scale in Ukraine in 2022, there are still people...

33 years ago today, Edward Travens, 15, was murdered while trying to rent a video with his older brother in LA as the race riots were breaking out. A Black male yelled, "where you from?" and shot Travens five times as he exited the vehicle. UNSOLVED https://x.com/NatCon2022/status/1928071818897694832

My opinion bluntly, Trump had better get his head out of his ass – NOW! We started this war and accelerated it under the Biden Administration. Victoria Nuland was there, handing out sandwiches at Maidan, encouraging the overthrow of the government, and she handpicked the “interim government” and then instructed them to start the civil war and attack the Russians in the Donbas. In this instance, it is NATO and the Neocons who have provoked this war with Russia out of vengeance for once being communist. They installed the interim UNELECTED president Oleksandr Turchynov (born 1964) and ordered him to...

Russian president Vladimir Putin has acknowledged crop shortages as pressure on the country’s economy continues to mount. Pressure is mounting on Russia amid labour shortages, international sanctions, record interest rates, and inflation, but Putin’s admission of shortages of key crops marks a milestone in the nation’s woes. Speaking yesterday in a televised meeting, he said: “Yesterday, I met with representatives from various business sectors, including agriculture. It turns out that we don’t have enough potatoes. “I spoke with Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko. He said, ‘We’ve already sold everything to Russia’.” Potato shortages have become a serious problem in neighbouring Belarus, with...

“Is the Blue Party really only the customer service desk for the administrative state?” —Jeff Childers It’s pretty universally acknowledged that America’s recent wars — say, starting with Vietnam — have been stupid, pointless, and fake in instigation. And yet the soldiers we sent into these fiascos acted bravely and honorably for the most part. So, it has felt a little weird to celebrate their sacrifices minus any sense of political justice, victory, or meaning in the endeavors they sacrificed for. Ergo, the holiday is lately reduced to a celebration of grilled meat. This Memorial Day, for a change, the...
